Home Insurance – Now Is Not the Time to Skimp

Published: 22/01/10

According to a recent study, house prices have gone up 400%, which equates to 2.7% inflation – more than the actual earnings growth of 2%. At the same time, many households have gone from single income to double as mums go back to work – however an increase in the number of single person households has also been noted.

First time buyers will begin to find it difficult to get started in the home market, and with utility bills increasing it will also become harder to afford the essentials such as home insurance. With more and more people working longer hours, spending less time at home and finding it harder to make ends meet, insuring property will be more important – unoccupied homes will be easy pickings for the nastier elements in society.

This creates a catch-22. In order to afford high value home insurance and other necessities, people need to work longer (or in some cases take up a second job, or return to work) and this leaves the home vacant for longer periods. If there was ever a time to spend more money when, in fact, you might not be able to – now is it.

Property insurance is vital for protecting your biggest asset – your home. And even though it can't replace sentimental items, it can lessen the emotional and financial burden when the unpredicted and unwanted occurs. Nothing could be worse than returning to work after an absence, or taking up a second job to bring in extra money, and being in the position of needing to replace household items after a burglary or fire. Even something as simple as a leaking dishwasher pipe flooding your home can mean replacing carpets and furniture. Even though you think you can't afford it, property insurance is one item you need to factor into your budget.
